Amex Serve Online CC Loading Options Changing

Just got an email today saying that starting next month that only American Express cards will be eligible for online loads. Discover, Mastercard, and Visa cards will not be eligible anymore. 

 

Has anyone else gotten this email today? Wanted to make this topic because I realize that there are some folks here who use Amex Serve to pay bills and such.

Time to find another way now. . It was great for meeting spend requirements ( the right way )

Received this e-mail this AM. Curious if it will apply later to all other Serve based products. (Such as Blue Bird and Target Prepaid.)

This sucks because I used my QS or SM every month for $1k upload that I paid rent and car note with. easy $15 a month in rewards 

just off that alone. 

 

Oh goods, what ima do now. 

 

For The record before someone flys off the handle, no I was not doing MS. Amex was cutting a check for my rent and sending electronic 

payment to WF Dealerservices for my car not. 

 

This is is sad news Smiley Sad any other solutions ? I may look I to Evolve or whatever it's called. 


evolve is now 3% for most cc, so not a good solution.  If you can get a Redbird for Target, that's going to be the best substitute for many, although can't load from home!

Received this morning as well.  I signed up for a card a few months ago but haven't actually used it yet.  Guess I'll just cancel it now.

Recently I had considered closing my Fidelity Amex. Glad I kept it.

I bet they start FR-ing or cutting limits when you use it for Serve. Amex just seems like one big trap master.
